EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Call to Lifelong Learning in the Depression Era This evocative poster, created in 1938, invites adults to enroll in free federal adult schools, emphasizing the importance of continuous education and the universal nature of ignorance. The poster's design, featuring a flame of knowledge and an open book in an oval, conveys the transformative power of learning and the endless possibilities it offers. The Progressive-era ethos of self-improvement and adult education is encapsulated in this image, which was produced during the Great Depression when unemployment rates were sky-high, and the need for skills training and upskilling was more pressing than ever. The poster's message resonated with the times, as many adults were seeking new opportunities to better themselves and their families. The poster's text, "We Are All Ignorant on Some Subjects - What Is Yours?" encourages introspection and acknowledges that no one knows everything. This humble admission is a testament to the human condition and the importance of seeking knowledge in all areas of life. The poster's call to action, "Enroll - Many Courses - Many Places - Informal Teaching," emphasizes the accessibility and flexibility of adult education programs, which were often offered in various locations and formats to accommodate busy schedules and diverse learning styles. This poster, produced during the Works Progress Administration (WPA), is a reminder of the enduring value of education and the importance of lifelong learning. It encourages us to reflect on our own areas of ignorance and to take advantage of the many resources available to expand our knowledge and skills. Whether it's a new language, a hobby, or a professional development opportunity, there's always something new to learn, and the flame of knowledge is always ready to be fanned.
